I REALLY ENJOYED THE BOOK. IT REALLY OPEN ME UP AND THINK ABOUT MY LIFE.

This is a great little book; my only complaint is that there should have been more of it. But to be honest with you, I need to read slim volumes once in a while to get a rest from reading books that are 400 or more pages.

EVERYTHING I WAS by Corinne Demas has me perplexed. The book is publicized as a book for middle grade or young adults and yet THIS blogging grandmother was captivated from the beginning pages.
